That Mitchell and Webb Look’s “Fun Historian”

If you haven’t seen the British comedians David Mitchell and Robert Webb on their many shows (Peep Show, The Mitchell and Webb Situation, That Mitchell and Webb Look), look them up!

David Mitchell loves history, and they often do sketches about historians and the traps we can walk into. This is one of my favorites.
